RIGHT-CENTER BIAS

These media sources are slightly to moderately conservative in bias. They often publish factual information that utilizes loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes) to favor conservative causes. These sources are generally trustworthy for information, but may require further investigation. See all Right-Center sources.

Factual Reporting: HIGH

Notes: The goal of the Lexington Institute to inform, educate, and shape the public debate of national priorities in those areas that are of surpassing importance to the future success of democracy, such as national security, education reform, tax reform, immigration and federal policy concerning science and technology. The institute’s political philosophy, as reflected in its publications, is center-right, emphasizing a strong national defense, education reform, and market-driven solutions to energy and logistic needs (Lexington Institute). Although the organization’s mission statement does not describe it as “conservative” or “libertarian,”it tends to oppose big government, tax increases and federal intervention in the daily lives of citizens.
